MathCounts: Engaging Math Programs for Middle Schoolers
MATHCOUNTS provides engaging math programs to US middle school students of all ability levels to build confidence and improve attitudes about math and problem solving.
MATHCOUNTS approach is to make learning math fun. They believe middle school is a critical juncture when a love of math must be encouraged, and a fear of math must be overcome. The program builds problem solving skills and positive attitudes about math, so students embrace challenges and expand their academic and career opportunities in the future.
MATHCOUNTS Competition Series is a national middle school mathematics competition that builds problem-solving skills and fosters achievement through four levels of fun, in-person "bee" style contests.
National MATHCLUB is a national middle school mathematics enrichment program that gives educators the resources and guidance needed to run math clubs in schools and other groups.
Additional resources for educators, free to use, including Engineer Week resources, handbooks, practice plans, video libraries, posters, and more.
Volunteer opportunities for program leads, competition support, scholarship judges, and general program volunteers.
